May 28, 2017 at 9:25 amWow! There’s something for everyone in Malibu! I’m a natural attractions kinda gal who loves my food, so a wine hike sounds like the ideal way to see the highlights! And who says I can’t get more of both by sneaking in a visit to the Country mart? Awesome!

May 30, 2017 at 6:12 pmI didn’t know about Escondido Falls (I guess that’s how it got it’s name!). I’ll have to be sure to take that in the next time we visit Malibu. It’s such a beautiful place…
